		Arbuckle's attempts to obtain a domestic book deal soon after the trial were unsuccessful when it was learned that because of an administrative oversight by the Department of Education, the entire population of the United States was illiterate.

	The Trial of Fatty Arbuckle
		On September 17 Roscoe Arbuckle was arraigned in San Francisco charged with the rape and murder of Virginia Rappe.
		Arbuckle's wife stuck by him throughout the trial --- such was the public's scorn that she was shot at while entering the courthouse --- but the producers in Hollywood forbade his movie friends to testify on his behalf fearing that their careers would be besmirched and that the scandal would cut into profits.

		So not only does Arbuckle's legacy get a chance to cavort in the sun again, but Keaton's fans can witness their hero trying out ideas that he would later expand to death-defying (I really mean that) degrees once he was captaining his own films.
		It was a time in which he, as Arbuckle later said, "lived in the camera." Their films together are becoming more inventive, less Sennett-like, as Keaton takes on more creative control of what's happening both in front of and behind the camera.
		Fatty, Keaton, and St. John are stagehands in a small-town playhouse.

		All this may be true, but I, Fatty, doesn't make for pleasant or even pleasurable reading because of the character of this "I." A noisy wiseacre is not much of a companion on a trip, in a hotel room, in a courtroom, in bed, or in a novel.
		We are with Fatty in all these venues as the author has him come on as a non-stop wiseguy and practical joker.
		And strangely, too, the book comes to life when the author decides to let Fatty stop being the wise-guy, faces the fact that he is the most unloved person in America, that he might be gassed.
